Abstract
Techniques for computer modeling of electrical distribution systems have been available to utility engineers for years. The formation of a distribution data base can be a huge task because of the enormous number of components in a utility's distribution system. The continuous changes that occur in a distribution system make data base maintenance difficult. Application of computer graphics to distribution engineering simplifies data base formation and maintenance and aids in interpreting the results of analysis. Graphic-aided distribution analysis allows the engineer to quickly see the results of alternate modes of system operations, thus speeding the iterative process of decision-making. Future applications for graphics techniques in utilities extend to distribution SCADA, work order prepration and protective device coordination.

On computing the distribution function for the Poisson binomial distribution
The Poisson binomial distribution is the distribution of the sum of independent and non-identically distributed random indicators. Each indicator follows a Bernoulli distribution and the individual probabilities of success vary. When all success ...
The beta generalized half-normal distribution
For the first time, we propose the so-called beta generalized half-normal distribution, which contains some important distributions as special cases, such as the half-normal and generalized half-normal (Cooray and Ananda, 2008) distributions. We derive ...
